Columbia University alumnus donates $260 million to Israeli university in major snub of his alma mater

A Columbia grad who was 'active in World War II' has donated $260 million to Israel's Bar-Ilan University. 

The anonymous donor's offering is the largest-ever gift received by the institution, and comes as the board chair of American Jewish University, Harold Masor, said he and his wife Amy will also donate $4.5 million to the LA-set private school.

Both gifts were made in the face of fierce pro-Palestine processions that have surfaced across the US over the past several months.
